The majority of weave structures are based on parallel warps intersecting the wefts at right angles. For gauze weaves (mojiri ori) the warps are shifted so they cross each other, creating spaces between the weft shots. These textiles done in plain gauze weave (sha), ribbed gauze weave (ro), or complex gauze weave (ra) are used basically for summer garments. The weft is woven in wet to compress it, and create a gossamer textile with body.
